All aboard for Summerfolk 46!! Have you got your boarding pass...I mean, tickets yet? Join host Kailey Jane Hawkins as she shares music from artists playing THIS YEAR at Summerfolk 46 AND she'll tell you which stages you can find them at...including the Marine and Rail stage, the very stage she is hosting! Tune in now to hear music by Chantal Kreviazuk, The Skydiggers, Mia Kelly, The Arrogant Worms, Joshua Arden Miller and the Pappy Johns Band, Amanda Rheaume, Katherine Wheatley, Ray Bonneville, Julian Taylor, Raven Meets Lion, Basset, Benjamin Dakota Rogers and the Good Lovelies!

A celebration of all things musical and francophone coming out of Penetang and Lafontaine with an emphasis on the role of Neil Lefaive throughout. The proceedings kick off in official fashion with the franco-ontarian anthem (albeit the dubstep version!) and a sampling of tracks from Penetanguishene Secondary School's concert band album circa 1975 before diving headlong into Monsieur Lefaive's production and mentoring work with Brouhaha and Brasse Camarade.

We check in with École Secondaire LeCaron's woodshop teacher André Forget, area music teacher Michel Paiement and local artists Antoine Devillers, À Qui De Droit, Georgian Bay and Damien Robitaille. After hearing so much of his production (and solo sax skills in the PSS Concert Band) you'll get to hear a track from the man of the hour himself, Neil Lefaive, with a cut from his ongoing (since 1992!) project Fiddes-Lefaive.

The show is rounded out with a summery track from Joëlle Roy, a more traditionally inspired tune from Ariko and, finally, wrapping up with a plea to preserve local beaches from (Damien Robitaille's dad and the man for whom the Lafontaine arena is named)Robert Robitaille.
